Created attachment 555212 [details] Patch from Bug 705849 for CVE-2011-1777
Created attachment 555213 [details] Patch from Bug 705849 for CVE-2011-1778 (2nd version)
Both attached patches apply cleanly against libarchive-2.8.4-3.el5. Double checked the details in Bug 705849#c4, which look correct imho: - CVE-2010-4666 is not relevant as libarchive-2.8.4 does not have .cab support. - CVE-2011-1779 the changes between the upstream version and .el5 are huge, there is little/no similarity of code changed by commit http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=3038.
